Lawmakers want answers after Stephen Colbert employees arrested at Capitol for unlawful entry
Fox News ^

Lawmakers will demand answers on the arrest of several employees of late-night talk show host Stephen Colbert at the Capitol Thursday when Congress resumes next week, a leading Republican told Fox News.

Days after Democrats on the House January 6 Committee called on Rep. Barry Loudermilk's, R-Ga, to answer questions about a tour he gave the day before the Capitol riot, several people, including CBS employees who work Colbert's late-night program were arrested for unlawful entry to the complex.

Late Thursday, the individuals, including "Triumph, the Insult Dog" puppeteer Robert Smigel – a frequent guest of Colbert's -- were not credentialed to be walking around without an escort, a House Republican source told Fox News. Others arrested included Colbert writer Josh Comers and associate producer Allison Martinez.

The group was cleared into the complex by staffers for Rep. Jake Auchincloss, D-Mass., and House January 6 Committee Member Adam Schiff, D-Calif.

Sorry, the only people on J6 that were “armed” as you say were the Capitol Police.

Nope. One of many examples, on the news today. https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4071887/posts

Sounds to me like an insurrection

Why aren't they already in the DC Gulag Abu Ghraib?

Answers?

They were insurrectionist - throw them in solitary confinement for a year...

Won’t happen.

Lady Justice is now a two-bit whore with blindfold fallen handing out passes to democrats while they stuff dollar bills up her G-string and out their filthy thumbs on her scales.

Thank DOJ - for degrading every everything...

I can’t argue with that.

It truly angers me.

Thank you.

“We also had a situation on June 16, just last week. There was a
certain film crew that works for Stephen Colbert who had been basically
stalking me all day long, going throughout, following us around here.
My staff was very helpful in putting me in the car and keeping me away
from them. They ended up outside my office, and my staff took me
somewhere else so I didn’t have to go there.
Now, we find out that it was a certain Democrat Member who is serving
on the January 6th Committee who let them in the buildings. When the
Capitol Police threw them out, it also happened to be Congressman Jake
Auchincloss’ and Tim Hysom’s staff that let them back in late at night.

Madam Speaker, do you know whose office they were going to?
Mine. My office.”
— Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-GA, “QUESTION OF PERSONAL PRIVILEGE” June 21st, 2022
